I've been thinkin about it for some time now and my best friend is getting one on thursday so I thought if I wanted to, here's my chance

I have no idea what I want, but I saw this

it would go on my inner arm

it represents everyone, including the biggest (powerful, rich, or physical appearance) are reliant on the smallest things. That bird is reliant on the smaller bird for food to survive

I dont know though...anyone else got cool ideas?

    I highly recommend NOT getting one you've not thought about thoroughly and are getting just for the sake of it. Especially something like that. Not much you can do if you change your mind.

    I really don't think getting whatever looks cool that you see between now and thursday is a good idea. I knew I definitely wanted my tattoo and I still waited 5 or 6 months so I knew it wasn't a passing thing. I advise you do the same :)

    Also, get something personal and meaningful to you, rather than attributing your own meanings to something you saw and liked just because you're in a rush to get one.

    take that picture to your tattoo artist and have a consultation with them.....then make a decision. Personally I wouldnt get anything remotely near what has already been tattooed on someone before

    i think you should get a tattoo of a wrench or some pliers


    since you are obviously a tool

    Oh please no....

    Especially if you do not even know what you want to get.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    if it's in the thinkin' stage - wait until it's in the cravin' stage...then it should have meaning.

    otherwise, you will have tattoo #345 on the chart...ya know???


    by the way I know a dude that has a can of spinach tattooed on his arm...

    he thought it would be funny. but now he is a "lawyer that thinks he is popeye" to everyone that ever sees it.
